Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer has stated that there was no contact with Chelsea in January but that he is 'flattered' by the interest.

The 27-year-old defender was heavily linked with the Blues throughout the last transfer window, however the Turkish club released a statement that it was nothing but a rumour.

With a good amount of experience European football behind him and FC Krasnodar coming up in the Europa League tonight, the centre-back could be a useful addition to bolster Antonio Conte's squad for next season.
